Timing is everything

Spent a long weekend in Germany visiting my grandmother, with my younger son Noam. As soon As I arrived in Germany on Friday and switched my phone on messages started pouring in - I had missed Israel's second Rouch-legged Buzzard found by Moshe Cohen 20 minutes away from my house - great bird Moshe! While I was watching Blue Tits and Carrion Crows in snowy Frankfurt, Israel experienced one of its greatest twitches ever (about 20 birders...). All the guys had great fun with the bird on Saturday and Sunday, but today it went missing! Damn. Keep your fingers crossed for me for tomorrow morning. Weather is expected to be awful, but hopefully the bird will show tomorrow.
